This book will make you think twice about the people we see everyday who are working hard and barely getting by. The author spent a year in low-wage earning jobs (waitress, house cleaning, Wal-Mart "associate") and tried to make ends meet - not always successfully. I wish Ms. Ehrenreich had some answers though. I would also love to see an update - wondering if the working poor are even worse off today. This would be a great book for a book club to read.
